koplication'filed July 6, 1905- Serial No. 268,457-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. GAYLORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe-Bowls; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enable ot are skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use threaded metallic band in position around the base thereof, Fig. 4, a detail sectional elevation of the amber-body ortion of my improved bowl, and Fig. 5 a' etail elevation showing. the meerschaum bowl and the threaded band therefor in detached condition.

Similar numbers of reference denote like parts 1n the several figures of the drawings. Heretofore it has been common to provide a pipe-bowl having an amber body and a meerschaum tobacco-bowl, but a female' thread has been cut directl into the body of the amber itself, while a ma e thread has been cut around the base of the meerschaum bowl. known that amber is a very fragile substance,

mutilated, but all kinds of amber will not withstand a threading operation.

l My improvement contemplates the protection of the en a 'ng surfaces between the amber .body an t e meerschaum bowl by .means of metallic portions and will be best understood from the following description:

1 is a meerschaum tobacco-bowl for a pipe having a reduced lower end 2 which has perforations 3 in the bottom leading to the interior of the bowl.

4 is a threaded metal collar secured around the reduced end 2 in any suitable manner,.

but in the 1present instance by depressing the stock of t e collar into the meerschaum itself, as shown at 5.

6 is the amber pipe-bowl, pr vided with the y usual socket 7 forthe reception of the pipedescribed, and then specifi-' andit is not only true that threads out directly into amber become easily stem,

to the interior of the bod 6. Around the a small duct-8 leading from the socket outside of the top of the ody 6 is a metal band 9, which serves to reinforce or strengthen this body, while the inside of this body 6 at the top portion thereof is lined with a metallic threaded collar 10.

I Both the outside collar 9 and the inside collar 10, or either of them, may be secured in position in the manner shown and described in Letters Patent No. 760,192, issued to me May 17, 1904; but I do not wish to be limited to any .particularly manner of securing these collars in position, since they can inmany instances be held in place by utilizing the relative degrees of expansion of the metal and amber.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination with the body, and a bowl havin a reduced lower end, a pair of metallic col are each consisting in its entirety of a ring-like structure, one of said collars being considerably wider than the other, the

smaller of said collars being interiorl threaded and being set in the body to lie ush with the interior thereof, the larger of the collars being exteriorly threaded at its u per portion and being received about sai reduced end of the bowl, the unthreaded portion of the .larger collar being formed with a series of s aced depressed portions which extend into t e material of the bowl.

2. In combination with the body havingila cut out portion on its interior adjacent t e top thereof, a threaded metallic collar seated in said cut-out portion and dis osed flush with the interior of the body an having its top edge disposed flushowith the top edge of said body, a bowl having a reduced lower end, a metallic collar of considerably greater width than said first-named collar surrounding the reduced end and having its top edge extendin flush with the upper re uced end, the upper end of said secondnamed collar being enlar ed and threaded and the'lower end thereo being rigidly attached to said bowl.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
